BACKGROUND: Tc)-pyrophosphate (PYP) single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) outcomes in patients receiving patisiran or vutrisiran. METHODS: Tc-PYP SPECT/CT data, including visual grading, planar heart to contralateral lung (H/CL) ratio, and volumetric heart to lung (H/L) ratio were assessed. RESULTS: Tc-PYP SPECT/CT imaging (median duration 1281 days). Overall, there were numerical reductions in planar H/CL ratio (1.7 ± 0.2 to 1.6 ± 0.1, p = 0.050) and a significant improvement in volumetric H/L ratio (4.0 ± 0.9 to 3.5 ± 0.4, p = 0.035). Although without significance, subgroup analysis showed more pronounced changes in cohort A for both planar H/CL ratio and volumetric H/L ratio (-20.1 ± 12.6% and -17.1 ± 11.4%) compared to cohort B (-3.3 ± 11.2% and -4.3 ± 12.7%). CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated a significant decrease in volumetric H/L ratio in hereditary ATTR-CA patients receiving RNA interference therapeutics.
